Secondary School Admissions and Appeals: What I offer

Please note, as recorded elsewhere I have retired from offering a full appeals service.

However, I am happy to offer my Telephone Consultation Service for school admission and appeal matters to Kent and Medway families, looking to Kent and Medway non-selective and grammar schools.

If you wish to find out more, please go to the Contact Me page, for further details and complete the form as fully as possible.

I have been working with local families for thirteen years, and so have gathered unrivalled and independent experience and knowledge in the areas described in the pages of this website. In particular, I hope the large amount of free information and advice provided in the Information Section at the top right of this page will answer many potential queries.

For grammar school admissions and appeal advice, I do not provide general background before test results are known, as it becomes too speculative.

Whilst I try and be as helpful as possible in providing initial advice, please do not take advantage of this. For some reason this year, I have had a number of unreasonable requests for grammar school ‘background information’ that are frankly pointless and irrelevant without knowing test scores, residence and purpose, and in addition would take up considerable time to respond. You may find the 11 Plus Exams Forum helpful for dealing with such enquiries.

You will find considerable free information on the Right Hand Side of this page, including sections on secondary admissions and appeals, together with in-year applications, all focused on the situation in Kent and Medway. My Individual School Section also on the right hand side, contains much information about schools. It is very time consuming to keep up to date, so if you would like more recent information about any school along the lines provided, please let me know and I will attempt to give it.
